| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Gestalted on 6/23/2015 & rated 92 points: Beautiful gold color. Nose is a wonderful funk (think cool climate Syrah) along with ripe fruit and a touch of pine sol, mouthfeel is fully mouthcoating and the finish is ripe pear and mango notes. Really fun wine!

Fully mature nose, with ripe pear, honey, and baked apples on the nose. Medium bodied and crisp, with ripe pear, honey a touch of oak on the palate. Moderate length finish with decent complexity. (2715 views) | | | Tasted by PBaird on 10/11/2005: I expected this to be better, despite the age. Golden honey color and flavors, acidity seems to barely match the fruit, has that "old wine" almost madeirized feel to it-- and this was consistent across two bottles that appear to have good storage. Ah well. (2806 views) | | | Tasted by jamiekutch on 5/31/2005: Insanity at Pisoni Memorial Day Weekend!!! (Santa Lucia Highlands): Golden honey color this was amazingly still crisp with ripe fruit flavors including some creamy white pear and crisp iceberg lettece. A streak of alcohol and a buttery finish with nice minerality. (4911 views) |
| Calera Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
